Build a structured filename from useful components such as project, date, document type, subject, version, and status. A consistent naming pattern can make files easier to identify, sort, search, archive, and distinguish from earlier versions.
Practical naming guidance
A naming convention works best when people can understand the filename without opening the file. Date placement, consistent separators, meaningful document types, and version identifiers can become especially valuable when many related files are stored together.
Consistency matters more than complexity.
A simple convention that everyone follows is generally more useful than
a complicated convention that produces inconsistent filenames.
